Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the Government plans to rollover the EU Free Trade Agreement with Canada in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
This question was answered on 15th February 2019
In the event of leaving the EU without a deal, the UK is seeking continuity for our existing EU free trade agreements, including the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada. Both Prime Minister May and Prime Minister Trudeau have agreed to working towards a ‘seamless transition’ of CETA. Discussions are at an advanced stage.
